Launceston Players presents
A Clockwork Orange
A Clockwork Orange takes place in a futuristic city governed by a repressive, totalitarian super-State. In this society, ordinary citizens have fallen into a passive stupor of complacency, blind to the insidious growth of a rampant youth culture. The protagonist of the story is Alex, a fifteen-year-old, who narrates in a teenage slang called nadsat, which incorporates elements of Russian and Cockney English. Alex leads a small gang of teenage criminals—Dim, Pete, and Georgie. Alex and his friends spend time at the Korova Milkbar, an establishment that serves milk laced with drugs. From there, they plan their days, and nights, and the mischief they will get up to.
After a night skirmish which goes horribly wrong Alex is arrested and sentenced to fourteen years in prison. At first, prison is difficult for him. Later he is selected as the first candidate for an experimental treatment called Ludovico’s Technique, and he comes to associate violence with nausea and headaches. The State considers Alex’s successful treatment a victory for law and order and plans to implement it on a large scale.
